# version = December 8, 1994 # Hans Dam # Mesozooplankton grazing data, Dam file as of March 16, 94 # Thomas Thompson cruise TT012 # # The data below represent weight-specific grazing rates of # mesozooplankton as a function of day of year, size fractions # of animals and depth interval for the time-series cruise TT012 of # the EqPac study. All experiments were carried out at equator. # # Grazing was measured with the gut fluorescence technique. Details # are given in the EqPac protocols. Mean GCRC (gut clearance rate constant) # of this cruise (0.030 min-1) was used. # # The grazing values are the means of 2-5 pseudoreplicates from each # tow. If you want all of the pseudoreplicate values, contact Hans Dam. # # day = day of year # event = event number from event log, composite of month/day/time, reported # as MMDDHHMM, local Hawaii time # Note: The event numbers for plankton tows are not unique for each # individual tow, but represent a series of tows taken at a given # location and time. # sta = station number from event log # sizefrac = size fraction/interval of organisms analysed, units = mm # depth_r = depth range/interval sampled, units = meters # graze_rate = grazing rate, units = mg pig/(mg body carbon hour) # ========================= yrday event sta ------------------------- 276 10020540 5 276 10021743 5 278 10040537 5 278 10041716 5 280 10060610 5 280 10061735 5 282 10080537 5 282 10081740 5 284 10100525 5 284 10101829 5 286 10120529 5 286 10121733 5 288 10140532 5 288 10141735 5 290 10160530 5 290 10161750 5 292 10180531 5 292 10181742 5 294 10200550 5 294 10201746 5
